SCHOOLS.
Plato stands prominent ameng the
writers and philosophers of his time.
He founded the Academic school,
80 called from the grove of Acade-
mus, where he delivered his lectures.
His doctrines are presented in the
form of dialogues, in which the chief
speaker is Socrates.
Contemporaneous with Socrates and
Plato, were Anaxagoras, an intimate
friend of Pericles, who taught math-
ematics and astronomy. Aristippus
disciple of Socrates, who founded
the Cyrenaic school, teaching that the
highest good consists in rational en-
joyment, and Themocritries, some
times called the Laughing Philos-
opher, because he treated the follies
and vices of mankind with ridicule.
The Peripatetic school which Aristo-
tie founded, exerted the greatest in
tellectual influence not only upon his
own age, but for nearly two thous-
and years afterwards. From his hab-
it of walking up and down while
delivering his lectures, his school was
called Peripatetic (from peripatein) to
walk about. The teacher who went
from house to house to teach was
called pedagogue. Boys were gen.
orally instructed in schools, but those
of wealthy parents employed ped
agOgue, whose duty it was to watch
over them when out of school. He
carried a ferule in his hand. The
custom is still in vogue, in some pla-
ces, as many school-boy's burning
palm can attest. AT the age of TWEEN
| ty, they would attend lectures in
philosophy and oratory, in the Ly.
ceum Academy or other institutions
Roman history informs us that after
the conquest of Greece by the Ro
mans, great desire for learning per
vaded the city. This resulted from
the introduction of so learned anC
cultured a people as the Greeks were
at that time. 1t was the custom t.
have a Greek slave as teacher in al
most every family. Cato, though HI
hated the Greeks, began the study o
that language at the age of eighty

The cracks in the logs were sufficient

Of THE HERALD exposes his plans. It's

reach San Francisco from his tour of

that by the time the president of
the convention calls the body to

state of Blaine excitement that the
mere mention of the name of the Maine
statesman will fire their very souls
with veneration, and they cannot be
restrained from nominating him. Thus
Blaine will make sort of triumphant
passage across the continent, with
banners flying, patriotism fairly roar
ing and the people shouting themselves
hoarse in his praises. Half dozen or
more doubtful States are to be captured
in this manner before the campaign has

JACOB SHARP.

After all it may tlanspire that Jacob
SHARP as not been fighting all these
months for mare delay. 1t may tran
spire that he was struggling for release,
and that his efforts will be successful.
In case of his kind, time is good
deal and money is more. The man
who doesn't possess the latter can
scarcely hope for the former. Had
Shar,, been less than millionaire he
wouid ling since have been in Sing Sing
ana y . onghIy familiar with the uni
form Vi TIE State. As he is more
than q millionaire, it is doubt
full if he viii ever see the
State Prison or be measured
for suit of longitudinal stripes. The
Supreme Court OF New York has set
aside the judgment of conviction
against Sharp, and granted him new
trial. In the first place this means
that Sharp is a defendant instead OF a
convict, and that he will be released on
bail. Then 1t means weary weeks IN
getting a jury for his re-tTial, even
should the DistriCt-AttOrney press the
case as was done before; then Will tot
low other weeks for the trial, with the
chances of conviction all the time In
very grave doubt; in case there shall De
a second verdict of guilty, there must
be time to dispose of all the questions
that will be raised on the trial, and
these will be many and intricate, Tor
money will disco er points and technlc
alities which poverty could not think
about. Meantime the enthusiasm OF
the people in the matter Of Furnishing
boodlers is weakening and dying out,
and the earnes tness of the prosecutors
is faltering and failing. When the
boodlers were first exposed. it was
comparatively easy matter to convict
them. The people were Mortified, in
dignant and mora or iess re
vengeful; to cast suspicion upon
man was to convict him
in the public mind, and to
have a jury declare him guilty if he
could not establish his innocence beyond
the possibility of q doubt. Time
goftens public hatred as it brings on
public forgetfulness, and sympathy
often succeeds vindiCtiVeness.
Altogether the outlook ia by no means
gloomy to Mr.. Jacob Sharp. And yet,
if there were bribery of the aldermen he
must have been the bribe-giver; if the
men who are in prison wearing away
sentences are there for having allow
themselves to be corrupted, who but
Sharp corrupted them. The law is very
pecul ar, especially when it undertakes
to pursue rich man.

GOVERNOR FORAKER's victory in Ohio
at the late election was not so much of
victory after all. He did not sweep
the State to any alarming extent, as the
Republican newspapers have been
bcssting. On the contrary he lacked
30,694 votes OF having a majority OF the
IA, SOS ballots thrown for governor. 1t
is true. he had 23,732 more votes than
Powell, the Democratic candidate. but
then the Labor nominee polled 24,7l2
votes which came mostly from the
Democratic party, ana the Prohibition
candidate had 1890 votes, majority
OF which, it is said, were cast by former
Democrats. 1t will thus be seen that if
the Democrats had been true to their
party, and had not gone OF after the
vain gods of Labor and Prohibition, Mr..
Foraker's victory would have been a
defeat. The Democrats never think of
claiming Ohio as even doubtful State,
but in the light of the sweeping vic
tory" won by Foraker, it would seem
to be worth the while Of the party of
the people to pat forth an effort among
the Buckeyes next year.

MAIN Els PROHIBITION.

How we'll prohibition works has just
been demonstrated by reporter of the
Lewiston (Me.) Journal, who went to
Portsmouth and examined the records
for the purpose of learning how many
persons IN the prohibitory State pay
United States liquor license tax. He
found 653, or about one to every goo
inhabitants. He also discovered that
licenses were taken out in a majority of
instances in fictitious names, the OBJ
Jects of the parties being to avoid being
known as liquor sellers, and to escape
the penalties for violating the prohib
itory law. These 653 men do not
take out license a1d pay the tax
for fun; they sell liquors, and
they;make money in the business, other
wise they would not pay the tax. A liquor
dealer to every thousand men,
women and children, would be

about the proportion in New England

indicate not only pretty general drink

And yet Maine is the one State
where it is even claimed by the
people that prohibition is enforced,
the other prohibitory states scarcely
denying that intoxicants are sold as
largely as before the passage of pro-
hibitory laws. The State gains alb
solutely nothing from these 653 men
who sell whiskey, but might collect
from each of them 81 900 year without
increasing the sale of intoxicants or en-
larging the evil Of incompetence. There
may be great morality and any amount
of virtue in prohibitory laws which
every one knows are not and cannot be
enforced but there is not much states

paign was one of tbs most active and

the parties were so nearly of equal
strength that the canvass showed that

at that the good people of the Old Do
